Cheating in School

     Cheating is a bad habit that is very common in schools even though it has serious consequences. One example is my classmate Tony, who is a student at a top in our college.  He saw his reputation damages when finally it was discovered that he cheats regularly. Some of reasons that motivate student to cheat are: skipping class, lack of study, but expulsion from school can be the negative effect that results from it. The causes of cheating in school are a lot, but skipping class is a primary reason that can push student to cheat. Other way that excites student to cheat is when he did not study. To avoid cheating, student has to practice and review the last lesson he has studied. However, cheating has atrocious effects on the cheater. The consequences that result from cheating in school are several and awful. A number of effects are: bad academic record, difficulty with future job, and the more serious is expulsion from school. One example, in Africa and particularly in Benin when student cheat in national exam, he is expulsed from school for two or five years.
